[Rahal] Photos before and after surgery (+review)

* The four pictures above were taken before I went to Canada
* The rest of the pictures were taken at the Rahal hospital



1. Surgical area - Hairline (M-shape + temple)


2. Number of follicles operated - 2,548 follicles (3,986 hair)


3. Preoperative estimate - Hairline 2,800 hair follicles + 1,000 to 1,500 hair follicles near the top of the head
However, transplantation near the top of the head increases the risk of accompanying dropout, so the results are satisfactory
I have no choice but to give up and only do the hairline because there is a high possibility that I can't make it.
I also wanted a top of my head transplant, but I agree with Rahal and give up top of my head...It was an opportunity that could be a once-in-a-lifetime surgery, but it's quite disappointing. I used to care a lot about not having a lot of hair on the top of my head...


4. Operation time - started at 8 a.m. and finished at about 2 p.m. (about 6 hours)
When I asked, they said they operate on two people a day. If there are many transplant hair follicles, there may be one person a day.


5. Total expenses (in USD = Canadian USD)
(1) SURGICAL FEE - $9750, 15% OFF (based on 2,548 follicles)
(2) Other expenses - 1.32 million won for flights + 480 dollars for accommodation (8 days living)
+ Taxi fare $35 (Airport-Seulne round trip)
+ Another 30 dollars. (Buy McDonald's at the airport)
(3) Where we stayed. - Seul-ne's boarding house
(4) Total expenses - approximately KRW 13 million (of which surgical expenses are slightly more than KRW 11 million)


6. Postoperative progress - partial anesthesia of incision from the day of surgery to the second day after surgery
I took a painkiller because it hurt as it got loose, but I vomited a lot because of the painkiller,
Rather, it hurt so much that I didn't feel the pain in the incision because of vomiting.
It's a combination of cold flesh and vomiting. And after about a week after the surgery, the swelling was almost gone.

And even though I was anesthetized, I just don't feel the pain, but I'm still awake, so the process of incision is felt and therefore the feeling that the back of my head is being cut off with a knife is very weird and unpleasant...From the day of surgery to the day of surgery to the day after surgery, honestly, I don't think I'll be able to do this hair transplant once or twice...Since this is a feeling of hair transplant surgery itself, I think I would have heard it wherever I went, whether it was in Korea, overseas, or Rahal.


7. Characteristics

(1) I paid for 3,000 hair follicles, and I started surgery
The density of the back of the hair is not good, but only 2,548 hair follicles.
an incision just diagonally back of the ear.
According to the original incision area, more than 3,000 hair follicles should have come out...
It is thought that the density of the back of the head was not good.

(2) The number of follicles extracted after incision is less than expected, so the right temple
I think I'm talking a bit...Compared to the left temple, there are fewer transplants

(3) The Rahal doctor drew the line/anesthesia/ incision/sealing/slit (working to make a hole in the transplant area), and 8-9 people (non-doctor, it seems like a nurse in Korea) separated the hair follicles and transplanted.

(4) The advantage of Rahal is that a lot of people say it makes my mouth hurt, so I only focus on the disadvantages
I'll tell you, Rahal's downside is that money is also expensive in astronomical amounts. Although he's good, he's raised the cost of surgery two or three times in the last two to three years
I know that, of course, it's because business is going well, but considering the patients
I personally want you to consider the price aspect a little bit ^^

(5) Dr. Rahal said he was in his mid-40s, and he had two Korean female technicians. You seem to have been born in Lebanon, and you graduated from Ota University Medical School.

(6) I think it would have been better to plant the top of my head at the time when I came home...I'm regretting it. It's a bus that's already passed..If I had the top of my head, I would have transplanted 3,500 hair follicles. Of course, I think it would have been better not to do the top of my head when I thought about it later, but for now ^^

(7) I liked Rahal's differences in the surgery process and the others,
Since it is a hair transplant surgery, it seems that your satisfaction will vary 180 degrees depending on the results of the surgery, so the evaluation will be withheld. I'll post a review of the surgery periodically.

(8) In fact, there is not all hair loss in the shaved part, but a large part of the shaved part had a lot of existing hair, so I don't know where it was planted after surgery. All the parts where I cut my hair...Perhaps the part closest to the forehead was planted in a dense manner, and it is thought that the operation was mainly focused on density reinforcement as it went up to the top of the head.

(9) What I felt - Don't just shave the transplant area, just shave everything in sports
I think it would have been better to have surgery. Only the transplant area in the middle of the head
It's hard to apply vitamin oil and ointment because I shaved my head, and it's hard to wash my hair. If you're going to do it next time, ask them to shave their heads.

And when the hair loss is not completely progressed (even if it's just a little progressing like me)
It seems that there were more cases of surgery in Rahal. The foreigners I saw at the hospital, my aunt who had surgery after me, and those who didn't lose a lot of hair
If you had a lot...There were a lot of people in their 20s...Looking at this, should I say that the concept of hair transplantation is changing. I think it's turning into another plastic surgery for beauty care. It's not exclusive to older people in their 40s and 50s...

In Rahal, I work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, and I think I'm off on Saturday
There was no surgery on Friday, and it seemed that only Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday had surgery.
I think about seven to eight people a week (two a day) are operating
Among them, there were about two Koreans, and if there were fewer, there was about one
Approximately 20% of Korean customers appear to be.

(10) Rahal would be the perfect hair transplant hospital if it solved the price problem ^^
His skills are still evaluated as the best among existing hair transplant hospitals.


PS. I hope to see all the people who had surgery in Rahal in Korea ^^
